Protocol summary

Summary
In this prospective, randomized, double-blind study, we evaluated the effect of an ultra-low dose of naloxone infusion on the amount of postoperative morphine consumption and the reduction of opioid induced side effects post- operative nausea and vomiting(PONV) and pruritus. Ninety patients scheduled for total abdominal hysterectomy and classified as American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status 1 or 2 were enrolled in the study. They were randomized to either saline (control, n=45) or naloxone 0.2µg.kg-1.h-1(n=45) for 24 hours. Standardized general anesthetics were administered in both groups. In the Recovery room, patients received morphine by patient-controlled analgesia. Ultra- low dose naloxone was infused intravenously at 0.2µg.kg-1.h-1 for 24 hours, in the intervention group and saline in control group. Morphine use, numeric rating score (NRS) for pain intensity, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, and requests for antiemetic were recorded at baseline , 30min and every 4 hour up to 24 hours after surgery.

Intervention groups

1

Description
Intervention: (Naloxone Group n=45 ) Before surgery, patients in group N received a loading dose of Naloxone (1ng. kg-1) then In the recovery room, patients were attached to a a patient controlled analgesia (PCA) device. The PCA device was programmed to achieve patient’s comfort by delivery on demand. The device contained 30 mg Morphine in 30 ml saline 9% (1mg/ml). After a loading dose of intravenous Morphine 40µg/kg ,a bolus dose of 1mg Morphine was administered with lockout interval of 8 min with no preset of maximum dose.
